Matusovsky Lugansk biography

However, it could have happened so that instead of a popular poet, the world would have found an equally wonderful musician. Little Misha had appropriate makings. And his parents sometimes dreamed of a crowded concert hall with luxurious chandeliers, lit for the sake of their son, and he himself, bowing to the public. Misha himself tried to quickly dispel their illusions.

But he did not see himself as a musician in the future: already in childhood he wrote poems the first poem “Bicycle Race” published in the regional newspaper Lugansk Pravda at the summer. By the way, in the same issue, on the same page, the poem of his brother was printed, whose further work we do not know. And Mikhail later, becoming a recognized poet, considered his poems, created in childhood, "from the hands are bad." And he even asked for forgiveness “from patient Lugansk readers” and the case also helped years.

After graduating from school, Matusovsky wrote posters for the factory club, painted caricatures for many traffic, worked as a taper in the cinema. Being a student of Voroshilovgradsky Lugansk by that time had already been renamed the Construction College, he led the construction of a two -story building of the medical unit in the territory of the steam locomotive factory ...

During the war, many factory premises were destroyed. But the building of the former medical unit to this day is firmly and reliable. If at least two poetic lines have withstood such a test of time as the house of my youth! The foundation of Matusovsky’s poems was no less durable than the house he built. But the time of glory is never hasty. He would probably be a good builder, although “to study at the technical school is unbearably boring,” he wrote to his friends, thinking, most likely, not about the power outputs, but about poetic sizes.

And it is good that his Majesty the case intervened in his fate, as usual. Poets from the capital - Evgeny Dolmatovsky and Yaroslav Smelyakov came to the city in the Lugani with a creative meeting. The young builder-builder Matusovsky brought to court the guests of the torn notebook of his poems. And he heard from them: “There is something in you. Come to study in Moscow. ” Zarechny, heart and now Luhansk is going to conquer the capital.

As he himself later said, he rode with a suitcase of poems, "threatening to fill the capital with his products." Together with Simonov, after graduation, he entered graduate school at the Moscow Institute of History, Philosophy and Literature in the year. Konstantin Simonov, a peer and a like -minded person, was one of his closest friends. During the holidays, we arrived together in provincial Lugansk, wrote and published in Moscow a joint book of stories and poems “Luhansk”.

The candidate dissertation of Mikhail Lvovich was devoted to ancient Russian literature. Its defense was scheduled for June 27. But, already on the night of Go, the poet became aware that he should immediately receive documents of a military correspondent and go to the front! As an exception, the defense of the dissertation took place without a applicant. Already on the Western Front, he became aware of the assignment of a degree of candidate of philological sciences.

Among his front -line awards, to which he was presented for courage and heroism, the Order of the Red Star, the October Revolution, the Patriotic War of the first degree, the Red Banner of Labor, and the medal. In addition to front -line publications, during the war years, and after it, Matusovsky wrote many texts of songs on military themes. I almost always took the plots from life.

Many of those songs have long become classic. But the poet saw in them only timid student sketches. Truly, he considered his first success “I returned to my homeland”, which refers to how, after the end of the war, the author returns to his hometown Zarechny-one of the streets of Old Lugansk: I returned to my homeland. The birches are oncoming.

For many years I served in a foreign land without vacation. And now I’ll go, as in my youth, I am Zarechny Street, and I don’t know the music for this song by Mark Frakin at all, Leonid Ukovsov was the first performer. After him, I believed in the strength and capabilities of the song, ”the poet wrote. The fate of the song that he did not attach much importance is interesting.

The lilac fog is floating over us. A midnight star burns over the vestibule. The conductor is in no hurry, the conductor understands that I say goodbye to the girl forever. For a long time it was considered a folklore option for a student anthem. She was sang by the fire at the table, at stations and in court companies. They did not sing it only from the stage, for its ministers glued the song a label a little vulgar and even semi -reference.

What can I say, “This is the time in the ears - BAM! But the builders sang “Lilac fog” on the BAM, preferring it to many other advanced huts recommended for execution. The good song Vladimir Markin returned to the stage and radio, who, according to him, did not know at first who was the author of words memorable to the listeners the first time. Although the style of Matusovsky is evident here - sincere, touching, sincere.

Many also consider the song “Moscow Regions near Moscow. And, meanwhile, her fate was completely difficult to akin to popular.It was created for the film "We were at the Spartakiad." The leaders of the newsreel studio called the authors to Moscow to express dissatisfaction with this "sluggish lyrical song." Who now knows these critics, who remembers their “movie masterpiece”?

And the "evenings near Moscow" have been living for more than half a century and do not intend to lose their popularity. The song "How does the Motherland begins no less famous and beloved. By the way, he repeatedly changed the text, choosing the most accurate words, until the verses acquired the form and content that we know and love. Many works are written by Matusovsky specifically for cinema.

Here are just some of the “His” films: “Shield and Sword” by the way, “How does the Motherland begin” - it is from there, “Silence”, “Trust Friends”, “Testing of Fidelity”, “Unbelved”, “Girls”, “Sailor from“ Comet ”, having left his native Donbass, the poet did not forget him. The famous romance from the film “Days of the Turbins” is also dedicated to Lugansk, whose streets in May are literally flooded with the drunken aroma of the flowering white acacia: the nightingale was whistled for us for the whole night, the city was silent, and the School Acacia, the fragrant night, was silent for us, the school was crazy for the whole life in the book “Family Album” in the book “Family Album” a lot of warm schools and the poet has devoted a lot of warm lines and dedicated to his native school and dedicated to his native school.

Especially beloved teacher of the Russian language and literature, Maria Semenovna Torodova. She taught not only to love and understand literature, but also helped her students better understand everyday situations, to distinguish propaganda tinsel from the truth of life.
